  • Tomoyuki Hello, I'm not an author nor do I wrote novel.

    Tomoyuki The price of Novel is valued by view not by content, why? because view mean "money" so Author most likely choose which gene or type has more audience rather choose from their passion or creative imagination. Cannot blame them since money drive the world around.

    Clearly I don't complain as author or anything I'm just tired to find a good one in the garbage can. What my point is most author try to do thing they don't good at. But I do disagree ".. What's the difference?"
    It is total difference, a person like to eat apple wouldn't choose a banana

    • Here are a few points that web novel platform shape the novel:
      - I don't know why the platform force number of release chapter per day (in the contract) but that thing might
      has a lot of impact how the novel was written. When there is a pressure on author, usually the author will try to make chapter just for readable or more words but less meaning. Rather than creative or unique most author will come with same thing (copy others author novel part or completely) why? because time is pressing them. conclusion less creative more chapters. Author who has written novel for more 10 years doesn't mean he has more creative than new comer since the requirement is just for number rather creative.
      - The way it choose the "trial read" or author pick, most of them is for new audience. I believe mostly likely the marketer will only look at number (number of click or view) rather than satisfaction. I don't think that is the right marketing strategy because the container has many holes that leak water no matter how much you fill the container will not be full. what does it affect the novel? Well the novel might be repeat or has too much similar content to the famous novel - why? because this kind of novel attract the new audience but for old audience its tasteless. Do you ever feel like you lose taste in novel, it isn't you it just you eat the same food and it become tasteless.

      Last I would like web novel platform to help or has a education session for new author since it is a mutual benefit.

      • OK, I think that question might be me thinking too much. Here are points that I think new translated novels are rubbish:

        • Too OP Cheat: cheat is acceptable but too OP without suitable plots or reasons. Sample: treasure chest (thing come out of nothingness) , sign in etc. I know some novels are for wish full fill satisfaction but it should under limitation.
        • Author Write for money rather than compassion: OK I know author need money too but come on too much greed make it go down hill. Most of novels just repeat the same thing again and again or make different paragraphs but have the same meaning.
        • Is the web novel is the same as light novel? some novels are too descriptive that is out of the category. some just give a short description.
        • Goal or direction of story: some novels don't have a specific direction. Author might write it in his free time or for fun.
        • Out of Logic: This is the most important things for me. Plots or event should be logic or reasonable. Example such as brainless villain or unthinkable MC behavior (MC act like an idiot or cause trouble for nothing).
        • MC personal characteristic is very important. Most of novels I read MC doesn't have personality. Personality change according to event or experience then it is acceptable.
        • Yes and NO.
          - slow progress novel
          - mediocre MC
          - No arrogant MC or face slapping
          - MC is a jack of all trades
          - MC is a lucky bastard.
          - this novel is most realistic novel i read. All side characters are not act stupidity.

        • I want to request novel https://book.qidian.com/info/1013861765

          This is a story that ordinary people can gain strength from nightmares ...
          Lin Sheng suddenly one day found that there was something extra strange in his ordinary life.
          A repetitive nightmare made him start an indescribable weird journey.
          A huge nightmare, a psychedelic secret. (Google Translate)

        • where can i find Love in Fallen City: Forbidden Royal raw novel?

          • According to top novels I have read (not romance novel). Here are some points all of them have in common:
            - Arrogance MC: Trouble maker, everything coming conflicts and end up in fight and some occasions you don't need a logic reason to fight someone.
            - Brainless Villians or No Brainer: Villians are always envy or make MC out of the enemy for no reason. And mostly they act on stupidity with no logic could defy.
            - MC has Heaven Luck: OK MC make enemy out of the stronger guy (stronger cultivation) and He still survive countless time. And He always get a hand on priceless things etc.
            - Cheat System, Heaven Defy Talent or OP MC: Yes people tend to read somethings that are easy to get Maybe real life is so hard so novel could make them escape from reality.
            - Faceslap: This one is the popular one people like to see faceslap.
            - Talk nonsense: Yes you hear right "talk nonsense" or "trash talk". Some don't like but most readers like it.
            - A lot of Battles: The battle make thing interesting.
            And others points that I may miss.
